185 Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.-Ep. 6. 10. E'VE listed in a holy war, WE Battling for the Lord! Eternal life, our guiding star, CHORUS: We'll work till Jesus comes. And then we'll rest at home. 2 We've girded on our armour bright, Battling for the Lord! Our Captain's word our strength and might Battling for the Lord! 3 We'll stand like heroes on the field, And in his strength we'll never yield, 4 Though sin and death our way oppose, Battling for the Lord! Through grace we'll conquer all our foes. Battling for the Lord! 5 And when our glorious war is o'er. 186 C. M I will sing aloud of thy mercy.-PSA. 53. 16. WHEN all thy mercies, O my God! My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost 2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts 4 Through all eternity, to thee 187 L. M Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.-HEB. 8. 1. WHEN gath'ring clouds around I view, And days are dark and friends are few On Him I lean, who, not in vain, He sees my wants, allays my fears, 2 If aught should tempt my soul to stray Still he, who felt temptation's power, Shall guard me in that dangerous hour 3 And O, when I have safely past Through every conflict but the last, Still, still unchanging, watch beside My bed of death, for thou hast died; Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe the latest tear away.. 188 C. M. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.-Rom. 6. 23. WHEN I can my title THEN I can read my title clear I'll bid farewell to every fear, 2 Should earth against my soul engage 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall; May I but safely reach my home, 4 There shall I bathe my weary sou! In seas of heavenly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. 189 L. M. We have seen his star in the east.-MATT. 2. 2. HEN, marshall'd on the nightly plain, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner's wand'ring eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd, and rudely blow'd The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze; Death-struck, I ceas'd the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose, It was the Star of Bethlehem ! 5 It was my Guide, my Light, my All; 6 Now, safely moor'd, my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, Forever, and for evermore, The Star, the Star of Bethlehem! 190 L. M. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy lade and I will give you rest.-MATT. 11. 28. ITH tearful eyes I look around, WITH Life seems a dark and stormy sea; 2 It tells me of a place of rest,- 3 When nature shudders, loth to part 4 Come, for all else must fail and die; 191 C. P. M. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.-MATT. 25. 33. HEN thou, my righteous Judge, shalt WE come To take thy ransom'd people home, Be found at thy right hand? |
